Ling Yan didn't dare close her eyes to sleep all night.
Whenever I close my eyes, the image of Gu Weiwei's death appears in my mind.
She could only dispel some of her inner fear by staying in touch with her mother, Ji Fang.
As soon as it was light, Ji Fang took the earliest flight to the city where Ling Yan was promoting her film in Country A. She only saw her tired and haggard daughter after Ling Yan finished her work.
The mother and daughter had a meal together before returning to their hotel room.
"Yan Yan, what exactly happened?" Ji Fang asked impatiently as soon as she entered the room.
She couldn't bring herself to ask the question while they were outside, because her assistant and agent were there.
Ling Yan opened the recording of "Half-Awake" that her assistant had someone record from the movie theater on her phone, and then fast-forwarded directly to the part about the murder and heart transplant.
Ji Fang watched the movie in a daze. When she saw the part about brain death and heart transplant, her hand holding the phone trembled and the phone fell onto the carpet.
"This movie..."
Seeing her mother Ji Fang's reaction, Ling Yan pressed for an answer.
"Mom, you also think that look is just like Gu Weiwei's look back then, don't you? You also think this part of the plot is unbelievable, don't you?"
Ji Fang picked up her phone and stared incredulously at Mu Weiwei's face on the screen.
"You suspect... that Mu Weiwei knows how Gu Weiwei died?"
The movie was directed by Mu Weiwei, and the plot could be considered a coincidence, but the expressions and eyes in that scene were exactly the same, so it was no coincidence.
Ling Yan gritted her teeth and said, "She must have known, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to imitate Gu Weiwei's voice so well before, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to deceive Gu Siting at the Gu family..."
“No, no, maybe we’re overthinking it.” Ji Fang shook her head, denying Ling Yan’s guess, and said, “If she knew, why didn’t she tell Gu Siting?”
Ling Yan's gaze was deep and resolute as she spoke.
"I don't know, but so many things about her are related to Gu Weiwei, it can't be a coincidence."
"But... even if it's not a coincidence, even if she really does know, what can we do?"
Ji Fang sighed. That was Fu Hanzheng's girlfriend, the number one conglomerate in China. Not to mention the Ji family, even Gu Siting wouldn't dare to touch a hair on her head now.
Ling Yan paced back and forth in the room. Why did it have to be Mu Weiwei? Why did it have to be Fu Hanzheng's girlfriend, Mu Weiwei?
She had heard Gu Siting say that Mu Weiwei was now accompanied by bodyguards arranged by Fu Hanzheng, both openly and secretly.
Since being captured by Gu Siting last time, she has arranged for more comprehensive protection, and now no one can touch her.
"Yan Yan, if everything is as you guessed, and we have to guard against Gu Siting finding out, and also guard against Mu Weiwei saying anything, we... can't guard against it at all." Ji Fang calmed down and analyzed the situation.
Ling Yan bit her lip, paced back and forth in thought, and muttered to herself.
"We can ignore Mu Weiwei for now, but we don't have much time left with Gu Siting."
If the deadline Gu Siting mentioned back then is followed, he might meet the owner of the nine-eyed dzi bead by the end of this month.
Not only Gu Siting, but also Kaman Dorrance was waiting for that person to appear.
"Then... can we find that person first?" Ji Fang asked.
Since the one who can tell them is the owner of the nine-eyed dzi bead, the only way to stop them from finding out is for them to meet him before Gu Siting and the others.
"Gu Siting has been sending people to search, but they haven't found it yet. If we go to search, we'll have to avoid being discovered by Gu Siting and his men. It's impossible for us to find it."
Ling Yan gritted her teeth in resentment. Was she really just going to sit and wait for her death?
